Double Pocket 1500 Mattresses for different weight couples

James asked

I am 12st while my wife is 8st, we are both mainly back and side sleepers. Due to room size a standard double mattress is the only option, I was leaning towards the Origins Pocket 1500 but is my wife likely to find this too firm?

Hi James,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
The Origins Pocket 1500 would be a suitable option for the both of you however, at 8 stone your wife will find it slightly firmer in feel than you would at 12 stone. Please see the chart below;
Origins Pocket spring 1500 mattress 

Your bodyweightThis will feel
Under 10 Stone / 63kgMedium
10-12 Stone / 63-76kgMedium
12-14 Stone / 76-88kgMedium
14-16 Stone / 88-101kgMedium
16-18 Stone / 101-114kgSoft to Medium
18 Stone / 114kg PlusPlease call for advice

 
If your wife was too find it slightly too firm you could always add a topper as an extra comfort layer to soften the overall feel of the mattress slightly.
 
The other option would be to opt for the Origins Comfort 1000 which is the softest feel in the Origins range.

12-14 Stone / 76-88kgSoft to Medium
14-16 Stone / 88-101kgSoft
16-18 Stone / 101-114kgNot suitable
18 Stone / 114kg PlusNot suitable

 
The table above shows that it would still provide your wife with a medium feel however, it will undoubtedly feel softer in those upper layers than the Pocket 1500 would. With that being said it will feel a lot softer for yourself. 
 
I hope this helps but should you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind regards,
Amy.
